I cut a 2x6 to go in the groves inside my truck bed. That way I can haul small things, like groceries at the back of the bed, without having to worry about them sliding to the front. Then you have costly things like wheels and tires, lifts, gears, etc. Maybe you want to dress up the front end with a chrome grille. Maybe a shorter 2wd air dam? Cab lights? The list is endless.
Yes! The 2x6 in the back of the truck is a must and top of my to-do list.

On another note, is anyone familiar with fuel treatments you can add to a flex fuel vehicle? I've never had one before, and I like to use the regular Lucas one, but I wasn't sure if that's ok with f/f. I have just been using regular unleaded if that makes any difference. The reason I want to use it is because it's a '17 with 10k miles and the engine has a slight sputter to it--I was in the drive through the other day and it almost seemed like it wanted to die out. And I can tell when I'm driving it seems like it's just not getting all the fuel it can. Has anyone had any issues like that? It seems too young to have issues, but then again I know vehicles come with warranties to cover any kinks they work out as a new vehicle.

Input is welcome. Thank you

I believe the manual says do not run any fuel treatments. It's under warranty, use it. But I don't think Lucas or any other fuel injector cleaner would hurt anything.

Cool. I was trying to avoid a trip to the dealership just because it sucks up time, but I know it's the logical thing to do. I hadn't quite looked in the manual yet. Thanks for the response
